Context

• These awards are compensation-related dividend equivalents on RSUs and are typically routine for board members; they do not reflect an open-market buy or sell. Dividend-equivalent units generally convert to shares when the related RSUs vest (or upon termination as noted), so the economic ownership and timing depend on vesting and plan rules.
